What Sandwich homes need from a contractor
Sandwich was settled in 1637 and is home to the Hoxie House, described as the oldest house on Cape Cod. Along Route 6A and in the village center, antique homes sit next to well kept capes and colonials, and new work has to respect the proportions, trim and materials of the street.
Everything north of Route 6, from the Bourne line to the Barnstable line and down to the low water mark on Cape Cod Bay, is inside the Old King's Highway Regional Historic District. Exterior changes there go through the Sandwich OKH committee, which offers both certificates of appropriateness and simpler certificates of exemption.
South of Route 6, in Forestdale and the neighborhoods around the ponds, homes are mostly single-family houses on wooded lots. There, roofing, siding and deck projects usually need only a building permit, and the focus shifts to shade, moisture and ventilation.

FAQ
Questions from Sandwich homeowners
Is my Sandwich house in the Old King's Highway district?
If it is north of the center line of Route 6, yes. The district covers all of Sandwich from Route 6 north to Cape Cod Bay, between the Bourne and Barnstable town lines. South of Route 6 the district does not apply.
What is the difference between a certificate of appropriateness and a certificate of exemption in Sandwich?
A certificate of appropriateness is the full review for exterior changes, new construction and demolition in the Old King's Highway district. A certificate of exemption is a simpler approval for work the district treats as minor, such as certain solar installations, sheds and fences. We tell you which one a project needs before we schedule it.
Does Sandwich have a demolition delay?
Sandwich does not have a separate demolition delay bylaw, but demolition inside the Old King's Highway district still needs a certificate from the Sandwich OKH committee.
How do building permits work in Sandwich?
The Sandwich Building Department at 100 Route 6A issues permits, and applications are filed online through PermitEyes. We file permits for all of our projects and coordinate the inspections.
